Weddings To Fog/Haze or not

Not Haze, but maybe some chilled fog to stay on the floor for some special dance segments. CO2 blasts also could work for some high energy times for a few seconds.
We started offering Fog Geysers for entrances or send offs:
If you've sold a big lighting package, I would maybe consider Haze during dancing. But fog tends to be too much for a formal event except as a special effect.

normally id say no as well....but ive seen it done well by a few djs....one of my faves is dj I AM WILL from the UK... his weddings are very high class...and he utilizes 6 moving heads and an amazing laser show...so the fog is essential...
We used a hazer for a retro disco event 2 weeks ago. It certainly makes "beams" stand out, but multiple people asked us NOT to fire it off often, as it does make breathing it a bit rough if it's near. Would need to get it way up in the air (6-8') to avoid putting it in people's faces.
yeah i always mount mine up in the tree with my wash lights and scanners.... never a single complaint

My friend's (I was helping him) is an older Martin unit and damn heavy. Would be tough to get up without truss.
It also depends how hard you're running it of course. The lights don't need much to get that nice beam effect. But if you really want them to scream, the room needs a lot more.
Agree .. but we were also fighting the air conditioning system, which dissipated the haze almost as fast as it went up.
Yes,,,, been using it for years. Will continue to use it! Every show
I use this lil baby., Bought it last year. This thing will turn most events into a blind soup! If left on, it gets rough.

Haven't touch my fog machine in almost 20 years. Here most of the alarm systems are tied directly in with the fire department and if the alarm goes off the fire department automatically comes. Most of the time the room has to be evacuated and checked. I'm sure for major Shows & concerts they have procedures for using Haze & fog. But for the stuff I do it isn't worth the hassle at my level. I remember early on guys setting off the alarms and the chaos that caused.
